    Mixing chores up with something you enjoy isn’t a bad idea
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Hi Mike. It will be good to chat with you. I always enjoyed your posts.

    I have that too. Only do the fun stuff. So thats what the alarm comes in. Thats a great tool for me to keep me focused. I hope to start using it for my course as well. Last year i finished one for work and I am doing the second one right now. But my mental health is preventing me from doing well.

    The first course I passed but I am worried about this one. Its about electronics. On how to get engines and other components to work.

    What hobbies are you planning on working into your day?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Hey Jarre. How have you been doing? Well a full update will be pages and pages long haha.

    I am doing the same as before. But I am getting more and more lonely. Most of my friends have had enough of me avoiding them so they are almost all gone. So its me being alone most of the time. Being avoident. I did find that it does suit me well that diagnosis. It fits.

    I do try to get into hobbies. But thats always hard with the perfection problems I have. But I try to do calligraphy. Did a workshop last year and i do like doing that. And I want tocget into floral drawing. So thats on the to do list.

    I did a course last year for work. In electronics. And passed. Now doing another one but that might be to much with all my other issues. The sad part is I need to pass both to get a raise. Wich i already deserve because i do the same work as the others that are making more then me.

    Thats a brief update

    Why would the next course be too much? I know you’re an intelligent man and you obviously coped (as shown by passing) with the extra work any training will cause - or so it seems to me

    Yes. The other one i managed. But barely. And this one is next level. When I last talked to a therapist she told me that getting a 6 was good for me. (grades go 1 to 10 and a 5.5 is the first grade thats not fail).

    She said that because at the moment my brain can only give 20% because the rest is busy with other stuff like my disorders. If that makes sense. Feel like i am writing jibberish haha

    Thanks Angie, it does feel good to be back.

    Today was a struggle. The car ride to school was pretty intense. Lots of bad thoughts and emotions. And the whole day I felt numb. I was so happy I could go over to my mum for tea (tea is still weird to me when talking about food haha).

    She makes everything with love and I would not know where I would be today without her.

    Now that I am home I can not seem to get things done. In bed now even though I wanted to play fifa all day. I want to be more easy on myself. If only I could show myself compassion.
